Anyone deal with DomainAgents? Scam? Or what?

[WhoaDomain.com]

Got an email from Domain Agents today for my domain WhoaList (in king)

how does this work? seems like someone is interested in it and DomainAgents is contacting me.

are they a scam? to get me to register for their service with the "hope" that I might have a sale?

I've never seen this before. I get this feeling there is no buyer. and hey just want me to sign up for whatever service they have.

to OP

in the future, try using the forum's "search feature".
it's a fricking library of information and all you gotta do is type in a keyword, phrase or question

imo....

If it makes you feel any better I think Adam Strong, the owner of NameBio, is an investor at DA.

thanks but the "search feature" leaves something to be desired honestly. For example, I don't post in the VR thread much.you know the one. it's the one with 1 million + views and 500K + replies? well you would think doing a search for say VR Domains or Virtual Domains would pull that thread to the very top of the searches. but nope. you gotta dig thru 10+ pages just to find it. (IF THAT)

There are times too that I remember reading something on here that I "liked" and I like alot of stuff on here. so instead of checking what I've liked best to do a search like you've said.

9 times outta 10. I'd type in the keyword or phrase ( as best I can)

and never find it.

that's when I'm forced to have to ask the stupid question like " anyone remember the thread about..........?"

I think I did it once or twice because I really needed the info again.

like for example. I want to dig up an thread on here that mentioned the sale of a NNNNL domain? I know it sold for $63K? if I do a search for $63K or $63,000 you know I'd never find it even if I did title search.

it will either not show in the results or get buried among thee other "similar" threads.

so it's not exactly bulletproof.

But thanks for the advice either way. I already understood that believe me. posting seems more efficient. plus helps with Namepros bottomline creating a page that generates income for the site.

sounds good. I've connected with that guy. Forget his name though. he seems help and reasonable and trustworthy.

I would not worry.

You could lose a potentially good deal.

They are legit.

I would create an account and do your negotiations.

Good luck!!

I agree, the search function here does not always return the best or most relevant results.

Sometimes I just do a NP site search using Google and it tends to get better results.

posting threads with such titles isn't efficient, especially when there are already other threads that have established DA's credibility and user experiences.

thanks. I guess part of me is skeptical not because of the company but because it was a $1.99 reg on my part plus it's "WhoaList..com"? lol

I have a huge list of way better keyword domains. and THIS ONE gets a bite?

doesn't make no kinda sense that's why it smelled "phishy". lol

I've sold several domains through them, they were all unsolicited offers that the buyer paid to make. The buyer pays around $20 to make the offer. I've only had one offer not convert to a sale. Right now I have one $500 and one $5000 sale being processed through them and Escrow.com. They also pay you $10 just to participate in the negotiations. I believe Richard Lau is one of the co-founders of domainagents as well.

wait wait. buyer has to pay up front $20 to have domain agents reach out to me? and I have to pay $10 to participate?

and the jig is up! lol

although that's interesting.

whoever it is must like it enough to pay $20 win or lose.

that's says something. or not?

do I have to pay just to respond? that can get expensive if I get 1000 "offers".

 

[internext]

^^^^No, they pay YOU (the seller) to participate

I have said this many times before at NP---

I cant believe the names people buy sometimes.

I see terrible names sell all the time.

Names I would never invest in.

I guess there is no accounting for taste.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Why people buy certain names is a mystery to me, but they do.

You may have hand regged the domain for just a few bucks, but the buyer doesn't know that.

They only know they want the name, even if you can't understand their interest in it.

Do not under price this domain just because you think it is a shi**y name.

The buyer put up $200.00 to negotiate with you.

They must be serious, and this is the reason DA set a minimum asking price, to weed out tire kickers.

Go for it!!!!

hmmm missed that. (just woke up. eye crispies got in the way lol)

say whaaaaaaaa??? that's a twist! lol but I gotta register right? right now talking to them via email.

 

[internext]

Yes. Register. Its safe. Its a good and honest platform

They actually give you ten bucks to open the negotiation.

You have the option of getting paid the ten bucks, or donating it to a charity, and they give you some options, or you can have a DA credit put in your account.

they must have some idea or at least Domain agents does. since i don't do privacy.

it's at domain.com and first year reg. so...they can figure it out.


wait what? $20? or $200?

 

[rockefeller]

$19.95 to be exact.

 

[internext]

$19.95 to be exact.

^^^ of which 10 goes to the seller if they participate. Its smart and encourages buyers to be serious

ummm what? why haven't I heard of these guys before? or at least ALOT on NP? sounds like a win win to me!

so what's the "cons"? has to be some "cons" nothing is perfect in this world in my opinion.
